i'm really only human

Chapter 582: War Between Giants
Special department of the base.

After the routine report, Matsunaga met with Shuto Saya privately. Perhaps because the base was located deep in the reservoir, the bright conference room seemed a little gloomy.

"Really? The alien beast didn't attack Komon and disappeared along with the fog..."

Matsunaga's expression fluctuated, and after thinking for a while he gave a reminder.

"Don't report this matter yet."

“Why?” Shuto Saya glared. “You considered this possibility at first, right? Lipia is the unknown hand, or the same darkness as the unknown hand. The visitor may not be absolutely correct. It may be an individual that has never appeared before…”

"Be careful!"

Matsunaga suddenly stared at him seriously.

"Visitors are extremely confidential information, not something that can be mentioned casually... and we still need to rely on Lipia. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"

"I……"

"What's going on with Qian Shulian?"

Matsunaga gave a warning look to Shuto Saya, who looked rather unwilling, and quietly changed the subject.

"We can't give up on Nexus either."

"Rui Sheng seems to have his own ideas," Shuto Saya shook his head, "Now we only know that the child trusts Komon very much and may have important information about Lipia."

"Important information?"

Matsunaga's eyebrows jumped, his expression was shocked, and he stared at Shuto Saya again, so excited that he couldn't even maintain his image.

"What important information? Does Nexus possess Lipias's memories?"

"I don't know," Shuto Saya said helplessly, "I don't dare to let Ruisheng find out about this. Combined with some of the information revealed by Gumen, Lipia is likely to come from another universe?"

"That's right."

Matsunaga thought of something and did not continue the conversation. He just winked and clenched his palms secretly.

The war between giants is actually more beneficial to humans.

At least on the surface, Lypias is helping humans and Nexus.

"No matter what, try to get more information from Qian Shulian."

"Uh."

Shuto Saya hesitated to speak.

Ever since Nonomiya Mizuo and Qian Shulian came into contact, this subordinate, who was originally very promising, has changed more and more.

If I continue like this I'll always feel like I'm being abducted.

"What? Is there a problem?" Matsunaga regained his composure.

"No."

……

Night raid team dormitory.

After Hiroyuki Misawa's death, Komon returned to the team, but he did not participate in the operation for the time being and became a free agent.

"Lypia, will the visitor's power really fail?"

As Komon completed his daily training, he asked Natsukawa questions.

It was already the second day since the humanoid alien beast incident. After a brief period of calm, eyewitness reports suddenly broke out from all over the country, and the urban legend became more and more intense.

If this continues, we will soon reach a critical point.

The key is that the unknown hand behind the scenes has never shown up, and the Night Raid Team can only search for the controlled alien beast as much as possible.

"I heard that the Predictor has found a Xenomorph nest. The main body is an evolutionary derivative of the Beetle Xenomorph in the past. The vibration wave reaction is hidden through special organs... Is it designed by the unknown hand?"

Xia Chuan did not respond, but just quietly flipped through the black-dyed Ultra Card in his hand.

For him who started out as a knight copy, the dark power itself is not scary, what is scary is that it is out of control.

This card can actually evolve on its own.

If he cannot keep up with the progress, he will probably be countered because he cannot control it, and the dark curse on the giant will also explode, turning him into a complete dark giant.

Although it is also an evolutionary path, he definitely does not want to go to that point.

"Wow!"

As if in response to Xia Chuan's thoughts, black reflections flashed continuously on the card surface. Faust and Mephistopheles seemed to be sneering, and they wanted to drill out of the card like living things.

Paji.

Xia Chuan clenched his fingers and put away the card.

After all, it’s just a copy world. He has almost cleared the Knight copy, so how difficult can the Ultra copy be?
The starting point is much higher now than it was at the beginning. "Hmm?"

Suddenly, a wave of consciousness radiated, and Xia Chuan possessed Gu Men like a conditioned reflex, threw away the one-handed dumbbell and unleashed his telekinesis.

Ishihori Mitsuhiko disappeared from his perception.

It should be that the other party has actively blocked all information, but why at this time?
The visitor's power has not yet reached the critical point.

"What's wrong?" Gu Men became nervous.

"I don't know, but... go protect Qian Shulian first."

Xia Chuan raised his hand and summoned the Aurora Curtain to transform the space.

He was not worried about the Night Raid Team. The only person he needed to pay attention to was Qian Shulian.

As long as there is nothing wrong with Nexus.

"Shh!"

"That's really cautious."

In the corridor of the base, Ishihori Mitsuhiko gritted his teeth in the shadows.

His identity seems to be exposed, but why didn't Gu Men reveal it?
Did he not want to bring the fight to the surface now? Or... Lipia was actually eyeing Nexus?

Ishihori Mitsuhiko laughed hoarsely, his eyes becoming more dangerous.

Matsunaga's speculation may not be correct, but the enemy at the moment is indeed a bit tricky and worth his full effort.

"Then let's see who has the last laugh. I have the same power as the visitor, so I have to be one step faster than you."

……

Urban area.

Matsunaga did not return home until midnight. He took out the information about Gumen that he had sorted out in advance and rubbed his brows wearily.

The organization still needs to maintain confidentiality, so he can only conduct investigations privately, but it seems that he has not gained anything.

Before transforming into Lypia, Komon was at the bottom of the Night Raid Team in every aspect and was almost killed by Goroki Shinya.

But after that, Komon made a 180-degree turn. Not only did he easily get out of the shadow of his girlfriend's death, he also possessed power that surpassed Himeya Jun and Mizoroki Shinya.

Sometimes he even wondered, was Gu Men who was not possessed really Gu Men?

The usual Komon might have been Lipia in disguise all along.

After all, compared with other giants, the summoning transformation is too strange, even though it can transform directly occasionally.

If it comes from another universe, it is even more incomprehensible.

This is beyond my comprehension...

"Boom!"

The sound of a water bottle falling to the ground was heard in the hallway of the living room. Matsunaga's daughter got up at some point and stared blankly at the photo of Gu Men on the computer screen.

"Still working?"

"what."

Matsunaga hurriedly closed the computer and looked towards his daughter to find her sight.

"When did you wake up?"

"When you came back," the daughter turned and walked away nonchalantly, and finally stopped suddenly, "was that person Dad's colleague?"

"Go to bed," Matsunaga said with an embarrassed look, "Don't go out casually during this period of time. If you see anyone suspicious..."

"Is he a monster that specifically attacks women? It's all over the internet."

"Don't think too much about this."

"Another secret? Dad is always like this." The daughter said disappointedly.

"Ye Yue, I'm not kidding." Facing his only daughter, Matsunaga gritted his teeth and frowned, "Believe me, it won't be long before you can get back to normal. Before that, stay away from abnormalities."

"Oh."

The daughter returned to the bedroom under Matsunaga's worried gaze, and it was unknown whether she had heard it or not.

Fortunately, no confidential information was opened just now, so no trouble was caused.

His wife was murdered in the Shinjuku incident five years ago. Since then, he has been busy with organizational work and his relationship with his daughter has become very delicate.

"It doesn't matter if it's dark or light," Matsunaga said, holding up the photo. "As long as it can save humanity, it doesn't really make any difference."
